CHILD'S LABOUR |
It’s very famous proverb which we all know,
A Child is meant to Learn, Not to Earn!
But if we all know the actual mean of this proverb then why child labour we don’t take step for the decline of child labour?
Our bright future is in the hands of our children. If we neglect them we actually neglect our future. Every child have right to get educated and learn.
Why the poverty of any country, city, town or a village overcome on future of our children?
Why we sent our child for laboring at any cost?
And if we can see any child doing work hard than shouldn’t we take action against it?
John F. Kennedy says,
“Children are the World’s Most Valuable Resource
And Its Best hope for the Future”
Causes of Child Labour:
Over population:- is one of the most dangerous cause of child labour. Most of countries become over populated especially in Asia and Africa. And they have less resources as well so they haven’t enough to educate their children and remove their hunger as well. That’s why their children have to do word on different farms and work stations. Such countries may include in under development countries where the child labour is so common.
Illiteracy: Most of illiterate peoples and parents don’t understand the needs and basic requirement of their children. They have one moto by birth to earn heavily and making money. Children of such parents are emotionally and physically stressed and this stress is badly affected their childhood. Such people never be realize the importance of education which actually change their lives and their living standards.
Poverty: Most of the people fed up with their hunger and poverty. Unwillingly parents force their children and sent on different jobs. To take this decision is very hard for such parents. Because they know they doing wrong but they have no other option and alternative.
Orphans: The children who born out of wedlock, their parents, relatives and our society do not accept them. Such children are very hard to survive in our society they have to do work for their survival because no one can support them.
